This project revolves around an Arduino- based automatic water level controller and indicator, employing ultrasonic sensors for water level measurement. These sensors operate on the \"echo\" principle, wherein transmitted sound waves return after striking an obstacle. Utilizing this principle enables the calculation of travel time for both outgoing and returning waves, facilitating the determination of distance. This fundamental concept is integrated into the project design. The system activates the motor pump automatically when the water level is low, addressing the pressing issue of drinking water scarcity prevalent in India and other countries. The project aims to contribute to water conservation efforts, given the prevalent crisis. Many households in India use overhead tanks, resulting in water overflow and substantial wastage of both water and electricity. To combat this, the project introduces an automatic water level controller, eliminating the need for manual switching ON and OFF of the motor pump. The device continuously monitors the water level and triggers a relay, subsequently activating the motor pump. This automated process not only minimizes water and electricity wastage but also reduces the reliance on manual operation, thereby optimizing efficiency.
I. INTRODUCTION
It is observing that the water is the prime requirement for the public places, school, college, hospital etc. Form drinking to cleaning the place the water is always required. To fulfil the demand of water in such places, the tank is constructed on the top of the building and to store the cooperation water in some places the underground tank is constructed. To fill the overhead tank water pump are use which is generally connected from wells, Burwell, and underground tanks. The person is always required to turn on/off the pump if the overhead tank gets empty.
If person forgot to turn off the tank, then the water gets overflow form tank it wastes the waster as well as electricity. So, loss of electricity and water ultimately is a big headache to society and the other public places. If the tank is empty and the who operate the switch forgot to ON, the pump then the people face the problem of water in washroom and other issues. The water scarcity is the biggest issue in public place due to this the people can face the problem related to their health and other issues. Some of the peoples who have easy access the resource of water they are more careless about this, they on the pump and leave it after the filing of tank. The barrier on wastage not only gives us more financial savings, it also helps the environment and water cycle which in turn ensures that water is saved for our future. The solution to this problem is to use an automatic water level monitor and controller to avoid the water overflow and wastage.
The presented automatic water level controller operates on an electromechanical system utilizing digital technology [1], [2]. It is compatible with electrical probes or sensors, and in this setup, magnetic sensors are employed in conjunction with a power supply and a motor.
The sensor is placed inside the tank, and the motor activates as the water surpasses the sensor in the sump tank. The water sensor, functioning as the level controller, detects both low and high-water levels in the tank. When water exceeds the sensor in the sump tank, the motor operates until the overhead tank is full.
This automatic water pump controller encompasses a series of functions to manage the Automatic Water Pump Controller Circuit in a reservoir or pump tank. The water level sensor is submerged in the sump tank, positioned about one foot above the bottom, enabling level detection in the sump or underground tank.
In daily life, certain physical elements require control for them to operate as intended. Automatic control involves designing a system that operates with minimal or no human interference. Intelligent systems find applications in diverse fields, such as medical sciences, financial sciences, education, law, etc., and are embedded in everyday devices.
II. LITRETURE REVIEW
There is a multitude of commercial companies in the market offering solutions for single sump or bore motors, but none are providing customized solutions.
In this context, a customized solution refers to a system where the bore motor starts only when the water in the sump tank falls below the defined level. This approach is believed to enhance water level management, reducing both power consumption and the risk of water overflow.
The proposed system introduces a microcontroller-based water level sensing and control mechanism, applicable in both wired and wireless environments.
This system is characterized by its flexibility, cost- effectiveness, and easy configurability. It is designed around a low-cost P89V51RD2 microcontroller. Additionally, the proposal includes a web and cellular- based monitoring service protocol, allowing for the global determination and sensing of water levels.
A PCB is the basic electronics component. The PCB Stand for Printed Circuit Board. PCB providing track to electronics component by reducing the wire in the circuit. It provides a mechanically stable and electrically conductive structure for the assembly and interconnection of electronic components. A PCB is play very important role in electronics to reduce the wire and difficulty of the circuit. With the help of PCB, we can reduce the size of hardware and make the hardware simple by reducing the complexity of circuit. The PCB are available in many layer, it can provide track to both the components SMD ( surface-mount device) and Trough hole.
This ambitious undertaking has triumphantly realized its core objectives, marking a noteworthy achievement. Beyond the immediate success, the project\'s essence lies in its intricate design and development of an automatic water level control system, which unraveled an innovative fusion of software and hardware architecture for seamless interfacing. It navigated the technological landscape with a finesse that harmonized the intricacies of both realms. The system\'s core, illuminated by advanced sensing technology, elegantly discerns water levels with precision. Functionally, this system emerges as a boon in diverse landscapes, transcending the dichotomy of rural and urban environments. Its prowess lies in optimizing the utilization of available water sources, ushering in an era of efficiency. However, the true transformative potential is unveiled on a grand scale, where it assumes the mantle of a guardian for water conservation. In the grand tapestry of environmental sustainability, this system, if widely adopted, could wield substantial influence. Its impact resonates beyond the immediate, standing as a testament to responsible resource management for the benefit of the current populace and bequeathing a legacy of environmental stewardship to future generations.
